I am so over getting these calls! I have asked them over and over go stop calling. It's been a few months but I got one today. As soon as he said who he was I hung up. I have tried the tactic of talking to them to let them know that I know it's a scam. They usually hang up at that point anyway, so I just decided to hang up today. I hope no one ever falls for this scam!
Was called from this number today, yet another incarnation of the 'problem with your Windows computer' scam. They guy says he's calling from the Windows support center and that you have a virus in your Windows computer. Then wants you to load a program from a website so that he can go into your computer and fix it. He tried to explain that my MacBook uses Windows when I told him that I had a Mac. Dumdum.
Anyhow...do not give these guys access to your computer, as they are most likely trying to gain access to sensitive materials you may have stored in there, or they may be attempting to install a program that will record all your keystrokes and allow them to learn passwords for your bank, email and other personal info.
Just tell them to go pound sand.
Got this call yesterday for the second time. I let them go on again telling me all about my Windows issue (I have a MAC). He had a very heavy Indian accent. I told him it was a scam and he said "Go f____k yourself". I have to admit it sounds a little funny in an indian accent! Creeps
This guy called saying he was from the windows support center, he was saying that they were recieving flags about my little brothers computer and said that all we had to do was diwnload a program from the internet that would allow him to gain remote access and show us what was wrong, my brother checks once a day for viruses and malware so he would know before anyone called I didn't listen to what the guy had to say I just hung up if you get a call from these guys do not do what they say just tell them you have your own antivirus protection and that you can teke care of it yourself then hang up.
